Chapter 322: See the Turret Again

The cavalry battalion of the security army, led by the battalion commander, suddenly appeared on the side of the rebels guarding the artillery, and these rebellious soldiers were mostly Liao, and they had a natural fear of cavalry, and the terrifying aura brought to them by Houjin had penetrated deep into their bone marrow.

The rebels hurriedly gathered together to defend, and before the cavalry of the security army approached, the shotguns in the hands of the rebels crackled, and the smoke rose in the rebel ranks for a while, but it did not cause any damage to the cavalry of the security army, and when the security army approached, they were busy reloading, and there was no gun to put away.

However, the cavalry of the security army was calm, and only when they were very close to the rebels did they fire their short muskets, and then turned their horses' heads and swept past the rebels, and the cavalry behind came over to continue the attack.

The rebels on the periphery found that the farther the soldiers were, the easier it was to die, and they were peeling away from the ranks layer by layer, involuntarily retreating to the back, and bunching themselves into a pile, becoming a better target for the security forces.

When the security forces in the rear rushed over and threw grenades at the dense crowd, the rebels could no longer hold on, and turned and fled to the rear, the farther away the terrifying cavalry was better.

The cavalry of the security army found the fighter plane in time, killed it from the retreat of the rebels, and went straight to the location of the red-coated cannon, slashed at the rebels around the cannon, and threw a grenade at the ammunition truck, igniting the gunpowder on the car, and the huge explosion sounded continuously, and several cannons were overturned to the ground by the air wave. The cavalry of the security army did not stop, and the speed of the horses did not decrease, galloping in the rebel formation, bringing death everywhere they went, and soon they came out of the formation, regrouped outside the rebel formation, stopped and resumed their horsepower.

The rebels in front could not wait for the support of the red-coated artillery, and could not support themselves under the continuous blows of the security army's muskets and artillery, and fled in panic to the rear.

The artillery of the security army stopped firing, the musketeers crossed the car formation, assembled in front of the formation, stepped on the drum and bugle bearer's drum beat and advanced while firing, the retreat of the rebels caused a chain reaction, and the unhit team in the rear was also coerced to retreat, when the cavalry guarding the flank of the security army also joined the battle group, the rebels could no longer support it, and it became a great rout of the whole army, and the rebels who could still move disrupted the formation, and all desperately fled in the direction of Dengzhou.

Li Jiucheng, the leader of the rebels, fled all the way back to Dengzhou City under the protection of loyal guards, mixed with the chaotic army, and immediately ordered the rebels guarding Dengzhou to immediately strengthen their defenses, so as not to let the security army take advantage of the situation to seize Dengzhou City.

Fortunately, the security forces were still cautious, captured thousands of prisoners on the battlefield, collected the artillery baggage thrown by the rebels there and did not chase them again.

Li Jiucheng counted the men and horses, and found that less than half of the rebels he had taken out of the city had escaped, and almost all the weapons and materials he had brought with him had been lost.

What's even more terrifying is that the 20 or so red-coated cannons also fell into the hands of the security army, if the opponent has someone who can operate the artillery to bring the red-coated cannons to attack the city, Dengzhou City will be in danger. Judging from the fierce artillery fire of the security forces in the first battle just now, it is impossible for them to find soldiers who can shoot artillery.

Li Jiucheng led the rebels to guard the head of Dengzhou City for a long time, without waiting for the arrival of the security army, and finally waited for a good news. The security army did not come to attack Dengzhou, but took the prisoners and marched in the direction of Yantai with supplies. Li Jiucheng secretly screamed a fluke, it seems that the security army does not know the reality of Dengzhou City, Dengzhou escaped a catastrophe, but why the security army won the battle and ran to the beach to hide is really puzzling. Li Jiucheng immediately sent people to report the situation to Kong Youde, who was attacking Laizhou, and asked for countermeasures, but Kong Youde had to draw 5,000 people from the siege team back to defend Dengzhou, and the rebels retreated back into Dengzhou City, not daring to go outside the city.

The security army that arrived in Yantai was busy, and at this time Yantai was under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou Prefecture, just a small town by the sea, and had not yet developed into a big city.

At this time, Wang Chengen recovered from the nervousness of the first battle, and the whole person had a feeling of being paralyzed to the ground, but he was not idle, and immediately wrote a report to the emperor to report the situation of this great victory.

Wang Chengen's mood was very excited, all kinds of unhappiness before disappeared, this Zhang Chu did not respect himself or even the emperor in language, which can only be explained that he is a country man who does not understand etiquette. Through this battle, it can be seen that Zhang Chu is really willing to fight for the emperor, which is much better than those ministers who are bare and talking. And Zhang Chu can indeed fight, in the face of tens of thousands of rebels, after a burst of gunfire, the rebels were killed a large number, and finally captured thousands of prisoners, this feeling is really cool, the rebels have a total of more than 50,000 people, and a few more rebellions will be pacified, this is a great achievement, as a prison of course, he is indispensable, now the eunuch can finally get the emperor's trust, raise his head in front of people.

Wang Chengen praised the emperor Zhang Chu in his play, and reported to Zhang Chu that the security army would expand outward from Yantai as a base to recover the lost territory occupied by the rebels and reduce the scope of the rebels' activities.

Zhang Chu didn't tell Wang Chengen a lie, and after the security forces took control of Yantai, they really began to expand outward, and they first targeted the countryside around Yantai.

The expansion of the security army is very thorough, a small group of security troops stationed in every village and town, which makes the people in the village very nervous, there is a way is a soldier like a wash, this official army crossing is not much better than the thief, in some larger villages the security army searched in the village, found that there were no rebels and strangers who could not prove their identity at the entrance of the village to station down, and then sent people to gather the young people in the village and said that they were going to recruit them to build a military camp, although the villagers were reluctant, but there was no way, It's better to work than to be robbed. The place where the security forces were stationed soon became a large construction site, and a deep trench was dug around the barracks, and on the sides of the trenches were buried wooden stakes made of trees cut down by the villagers, and barbed wire was pulled inside the stakes, and the entire barracks were tightly enclosed, and a drawbridge was erected over the trench, through which people could only enter and exit.

The strangest thing is that in the middle of the barracks, there is also a building called a turret by the security forces, which is round and towering, and the scenery of the village and the road is clear from the people standing on it.

It is divided into three floors, and after the completion of the security army, the soldiers of the security army have moved to live in it, it is a building, yes, but why is it called a turret? The villagers are strange. Later, after the security army installed the medium-sized Franc machine in the building, the villagers realized that this was really a turret. If anyone wants to enter the village, they have to pass under the gun.

Zhang Chu led people around to inspect the progress of the project, looking at the turrets lined up in a village, he wondered if he would get a war knife to hang on his waist. (To be continued.) )
